At night I am always scared. Scared of the unknown... the darkness, or should I say, the absence of light. Sleep is a very vulnerable state. I fear vulnerability. At around 12:30 the earth reaches its numbing silence. At around 1:30 even the crickets cease their song. That's when I really get scared. This is when the silence rings in my ears.By mchristine21 https://www.reddit.com/r/...
